MORE ‘GREEN SPACE’
Construction of two fields finalized
B> Mary Ann Meek
University administrators finalized a plan allowing for new buildings and the coexisting “green space" for student recreation, T uesday.
The project calls for the construction of two fields for recreational and intramural* activities.
The construction of the McDonalds Olympic Swim Stadium will begin soon on the present intramural field, but Anthony Lazzaro, vice president of business affairs and the USC-Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee liaison, expects to have enough room for a smaller field after the pools' construction.
Another field will be constructed behind Heritage Hall within the next two years, said James Dennis, assistant vice president of Student Affairs.
Located adjacent to the Olym-
pic pools, the field will extend across 34th Street toward Webb Tower and Residence West. The access road to parking in this area will be closed and filled in.
\ . . Dedeaux Field will be made available in the fall for more extensive use.’
Lazzaro said this should allow for 69.000 square feet of “green space" for student use.
Meanwhile, the row of houses behind Heritage Hall, currently being used for custodial and mail service purposes, will be removed to provide “green space" for another intramural field.
This particular field will stretch from the Institute of Safety and Systems Management building to
the Physical Plant buildings, and from Heritage Hall to McClintock Avenue.
In addition to the two recreation fields. Dedeaux Field will be made available in the fall for more extensive use. in order to accommodate requests for outdoor activities.
These requests will be taken care of in the best manner possible during the construction/transition period, and all attempts will be made to meet the students' needs. Lazzaro said.
Members of the Student Senate expressed concern over the loss of green space resulting from new construction.
Bill Baber, a student senator, said he was very happy about the latest plan. “It's an excellent idea if it comes to pass." Baber said.
After the completion of the 1984 Olympics, the two Olympic pools will also be available for student use.

“Reagan. Reagan, pay attention / we don't want no intervention.” was among the slogans the protestors shouted into the chill afternoon air.
Women’s workshop to help define attitudes, importance of sexuality

Despite society’s sometimes permissive attitude toward sex. many people have difficulty dealing with sexual feelings and experiences.
USC Counseling Services offers a Women's Sexual Awareness Workshop to help women define their attitudes about sex and determine its importance to them as individuals and in relationships. The eight-week workshop for students will begin March 13 and will meet on Fridays from 9 to 10:30 a.m.
“It's important that women know ihev don't have to have an identified problem to come to the workshop," said Connie Destito. one of the leaders of the workshop.
“The workshop is for growth, and we want to provide an environment of exploration and mutual respect where women can discover how they perceive themselves as sexual beings and establish what's comfortable for them," she said.
Counseling Services held a Women’s Sexual Awareness Workshop last November and focused on such topics as the effect of past experience on present sexuality, the impact of societal messages and sexual stereotyping, sexual responsibility, communication and decision-making and body image.
“Body image is critical on how women think of themselves as sexual beings and in how they think
other people respond to them," said Gloria Porter, another leader of the workshop.
Much of a woman's body image is determined by and reflected in the media. Porter said. "People respond to the stimulus of ads. but they don't question what they are responding to.
"They see the ads and want to look like Cheryl Tiegs and work at eating the right foods and exercising."
A woman's disappointment about some aspect .of her body can lead to nonproductive feelings and behavior. Porter said, and the counselors try to help women deal with problems stemming from such complexes.
The new workshop will focus on the same topics discussed in the November workshop, but some new topics will be added. The workshop will explore the effect of drugs on sexual experience, sexual fantasies and the role of birth control in sexual relationships, specificall) who carries the responsibility for birth control and the effect of birth control on sexual expression.
A film called “Growing up Female" will also be shown.
The workshop is open to women of any age. Women may call the Counseling Center at 743-7979 and make an appointment with Destito or Porter. They will be asked to fill out a questionnaire that will guide the leaders in preparing for the workshop.

Criticize $25 million in aid, warn of parallels with Vietnam
Picketers carried placards, some of which featured an American flag in the shape of a swastika. Others bore the message, “End genocide in El Salvador," or “No tax dollars for mass murder."
The U.S. Committee in Solidarity With the People of El Salvador is concerned that military intervention in El Salvador "is frightening, similar to the events leading to our involvement in the Vietnam war."
"We're going to wake up a lot sooner than we did in Vietnam," said Dan Fitzgerald, a participant in the demonstration. "The advisers are really troops in disguise."
Jacob Sokoloff. 26. said there is a very good chance of U.S. involvement escalating to the military stage. "If we see incidents of military advisers suffering
casualities, Reagan might use that as an alibi to jump into the fighting." he said.
A spokesman for Congressman Anthony Bielenson's office encouraged rally participants to support a bill which would stop military aid to El Salvador.
Two similar bills, already passed, prohibit sales of military hardware, training of personnel and military aid to the governments of Argentina and Chile.
“This bill is not designed to bring collapse to the El Salvadorean government." said Congressman Jerry Studds. who introduced the bill in Congress. The bill is designed to curtail “illegal" actions of the junta's military forces.
“U.S. arms are being sent to El Salvador at record rates," Studds said. Some 55 Congressmen support the bill, which may become
part of the 1981 fiscal budget, said Victoria Rideout, legislative assistant to Congressman Studds.
"The bill is a focal point to pull together congressional opposition to military intervention in El Salvador." Rideout said.
When asked about the rally and the broadening opposition to U.S. military intervention in El Salvador, an active-duty military officer on campus said intervention is a necessary evil.
“There's a list of Soviet human
